Fire falls from heaven and the LORD’s glory fills Solomon’s newly finished temple, launching a seven-day dedication feast in 2 Chronicles 7.
Full sung version coming soon.
Lyrics
Now when Solomon had finished praying Fire came down from heaven and consumed the burnt offering
And the sacrifices And the Lord’s glory filled the house The priests could not enter into the Lord’s house Because the Lord’s glory filled the Lord’s house
All the children of Israel looked on when the fire came down And the Lord’s glory was on the house They bowed themselves with their faces to the ground On the pavement, worshipped, and gave thanks to the Lord
Saying, For he is good, for his loving kindness endures forever Then the king and all the people offered sacrifices before the Lord King Solomon offered a sacrifice of twenty-two thousand head of cattle
And a hundred and twenty thousand sheep So the king and all the people dedicated God’s house The priests stood according to their positions The Levites also with instruments of music of the Lord
Which David the king had made to give thanks to the Lord When David praised by their ministry, saying For his loving kindness endures forever The priests sounded trumpets before them
And all Israel stood Moreover Solomon made the middle of the court That was before the Lord’s house holy For there he offered the burnt offerings and the fat
Of the peace offerings Because the bronze altar which Solomon had made Was not able to receive the burnt offering The meal offering and the fat So Solomon held the feast at that time for seven days
And all Israel with him a very great assembly From the entrance of Hamath to the brook of Egypt On the eighth day they held a solemn assembly The dedication held, the fire fell The presence descended, the covenant sealed
The fire consumed The glory filled The covenant confirmed The presence rests
